What Makes Sherlock・Hidden Object・Match 3 Stand Out
Join the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes in his unbelievable new investigations!
Something wicked is going on in the worlds of well-known books – their plots are changing, with the main characters being defeated while the villains prevail. The magic of literature is at work here, and this magic is real! Now, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, and many other classic novels are not at all like you remember them.
Help Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson restore the original plots of the books and deliver justice by solving tricky match-3 puzzles or unraveling hidden object scenes, and complete thrilling quests while searching for the reasons and patterns behind the events. These world-renowned stories helped to shape the history of mankind, so they carry enormous power – and whoever can control that power, will be able to rule the universe. Make sure it falls in the right hands!
Set off on an exciting detective adventure, solve ingenious puzzles and investigate crimes without delay before the real world turns upside down too!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is fun and exciting. We love it.
Fun to play. We like how you can look for things based on clues or do a match 3 type of board.
We dont like this new Sherlock game. To much advertising to make a person buy things and not able to play quickly like on Secret Society. About ready to leave Sherlock. Its a disappointment.
We enjoy the new visions of the old stories.
Play this game to keep our old mind sharp.
We enjoy playing the games. Lots of variety and great graphics. Like how the puzzles change but keep the story lines. Lots of chances to be successful.
Best Game EV E R! That is, it would be if we could get the update its been almost a week since the last game ended. WHATUP? Again.
After you play to a certain level, you get to a place that impossible to win anymore. We dont get enough time to find all the objects on the Hard and Very Hard levels Im at now. Its extremely frustrating! We would like the ability to buy with our enormous money the way we wish to play the different places.
Moves along nicely. Enjoy playing.
Is there a way to play the game without being timed.
Love the game. It has trouble loading at times otherwise its a 5 star winner.
The game weighs work with fun and challenges you to keep up with Sherlock, Watson, and a host of others.
Fun game to pass the time Enjoy the stories.
It downloads way to slow! It makes no sense! Takes to long to move on.
Love the graphics of this game. So pretty and fun, creative. Expensive, tho we should get at least 5 red crystals for each new level attained.
We enjoy this game. We love puzzles and this fulfills that need to put things together.
Please try this game ! It can be addictive. Relaxing and if you don't want to spend money you can still play! Still recommend the best game. We've been playing Sherlock for long time, daily. We enjoy the challenge and the graphics are very cool. Try it, you'll like it.
One of the best games Ive ever played.
The rolling back and forth for gifts gets tedious. The game is not generous. You need to get into the levels 65 plus before you can sustain without spending lots of dollars. The dialog goes on way too long. Having said that, it is beautifully illustrated and fun to play. Update, the newest version is much improved. Beautiful illustration.
This is a great game! We love picture hunt games and like that you always have the option to play match 3. We wish the arrow always told you which puzzle to hunt for a particular prize in.
Forsome resson game asks us to rate it very oftenI wish we got few gems for every rating.. If you are looking for another version of candy crush spinoff, this is NOT IT! Overall, graphics is really fantastic! Lately we feel like in twighlight zone, getting lost in Emerald city and cannot escape it :-) and it gets progressively more annoying also we cannot get access to squad journal( we are at level 60) yet lately we are not making much of progress and cannot advance, but still very interesting game with fantastic graphics lastly, we noticed that after the update to iOS26.1 game crashes at the start.
We like all the different games to play so you dont get bored playing.
Ive been playing this game for 4 years now. Its great. The graphics are amazing. The next levels are full of surprises. We highly recommend this game to others.
We think that very cool going around searching for different things getting cool rewards.
Its a lot of fun and keeps our mind sharp. Worth 5 stars. Harder to get crystals. Still a great game to play. Joyful BIBI Like to be able to open more areas. Shouldnt be so difficulty. Would appreciate having more mini games.
We play daily and enjoy the challenges. Sherlock continues to be interesting. The graphics are excellent.
We really enjoy the game we play it to relax .This last update we heard a lot of static in it. Then it could be on our end also. We wish it had an option on just a relaxing mode. We like challenges but not that challenging. We just want to enjoy the game and the story that comes with it. It can be a fun game for anyone.
Many of these games appear to be fun and interesting, too bad we have NO IDEA HOW TO PLAY THE GAME . Where are the rules explained ??? Im talking about the match 3 games. Also, coins should be usable for buying tools.
Good animation and fun. Can play for hours and not get bored.
It's like Highlights when you were a kid. Fun.
Game settings are various and have excellent visual acuity with magnifying glass for hard to differentiate items. Love the color and time is very accommodating.
We really enjoy this game and its one of our favorites. We can say that we cannot pass one day without playing it. We dont mind buying some crystals sometimes.
This Christmas decor is KILLING ME. Its so beautiful. Its phenomenal. The what is it, a hologram? Of the moon with Santa!!!! Whoever is designing all this is super talented. Thank you so much.
Challenging and entertaining.Fun.
Im so sorry for not playing as much as we have, please help us out by sending our present to our friends please help us please.
Great graphics and abundance of features.
Good Game to keep ours stimulated.
Fun and keeps u going to find out the next steps of game love it.
Sherlock has the most amazing graphics & stories that keep play interesting. We love books and would love to live in the Sherlock library! So many areas to explore.
Fun game! Not too easy, just the right amount of a challenge.
Excellent game. Love the challenge. Lots of fun. Very intriguing, becomes more difficult with each level.
Downloaded next level, was able to play a few games and now the game wont let us play any games to earn berries to play castle while our free bonus time counts down. The count down is the only feature that works. Thanks for nothing.
We have been playing Sherlock – Hidden Object – Match 3 for quite a while and really enjoy it. We have a suggestion that we hope you might think about. What if Faustus got lost in some books and we had to find him. He is hard to catch. He wants to come home but cant find his way. This, of course, would be a side game for us. Please think about it as we feel it would be fun for all. Thank you.
Awesome game and fun game a wonderful world of adventure.we love the game.
So much to explore! We love the challenge of this game.
Hard, some items so light can barely see them. Mysterious, we are enjoying it. If youre into hidden objects, youre going to love this one. Challenging.
Love playing this gameOne of the best hidden object games geared for adults; takes skill and a A lot of concentration and we love it!we.
Enjoyable game! Love it! Only problem is Im not able to be on line. Game wont let us. Im looking forward to the next new book! This game is fun with new challenges! Thank you! Wheres our new book and chest? Im looking forward to it! Wheres new book.
Just a fun game. Lots of puzzles, fun to do .Its a great game but sometimes a little too hard. We do it for relaxation.
